If $I_n=\int x^n \cdot e^{c x} d x$ for $n \geq 1, \quad$ then $c \cdot I_n+n \cdot I_{n-1}$ is equal to

If $I_n=\int x^n \cdot e^{c x} d x$ for $n \geq 1, \quad$ then $c \cdot I_n+n \cdot I_{n-1}$ is equal to
  1. $x^n e^{c x}$
  2. $x^n$
  3. $e^{c x}$
  4. $x^n+e^{c x}$

Solution

Given that, $ \begin{aligned} & I_n=\int x^n \cdot e^{c x} d x \\ & I_n=\frac{e^{c x}}{c} \cdot x^n-\int \frac{e^{c x}}{c} \cdot n x^{n-1} d x \\ & \Rightarrow \quad I_n=\frac{e^{c x} \cdot x^n}{c}-\frac{n}{c} I_{n-1} \\ & \end{aligned} $ $\Rightarrow \quad c I_n+n I_{n-1}=e^{c x} \cdot x^n$
